As September draws to a close, stable high-pressure patterns continue to dominate Greek FIRs, ensuring pristine VFR conditions across major hubs. While Athens (LGAV) and Rhodes (LGRP) maintain comfortable late-summer warmth with favorable density altitudes, northern and island sectors like Thessaloniki (LGTS) and Heraklion (LGIR) experience refreshing seasonal cooling and steadily easing Meltemi breezes, delivering optimal operational stability for all domestic and long-haul

Stable high pressure anchors VFR conditions across Greek FIRs for 6–12 September 2026. As seasonal Meltemi winds gradually ease across the Aegean, dispatchers can expect excellent visibility and minimal cloud cover. Temperatures range from 27°C–33°C across LGAV, LGTS, LGIR, and LGRP, offering slight relief from late-summer heat and improving density altitude margins for heavy departures.

High-pressure stability continues across Aegean and mainland FIRs for the week of 30 August – 5 September 2026, sustaining pristine VFR conditions and easing Meltemi winds. Athens (LGAV) and Rhodes (LGRP) peak at 31°C–35°C with high density altitudes requiring load checks. Thessaloniki (LGTS) cools slightly to 28°C–32°C with stable ILS approaches. Heraklion (LGIR) maintains 29°C–32°C highs, regulated by steady 15–18 knot maritime breezes.
